-FOR- 

ROOFING,  SIDING,  CEILING,  DOORS,  SHUTTERS,

Corrugated  is  the  strongest  form  of  Sheet  Metal.  It  is  the  best  material 
for  use  on  buildings  of  moderate  cost,  that  are  intended  to  be  fire-proof.  The 
corrugations  stiffen  the  sheets  and  makes  them  suitable  for  use  on  light,  inex- 
pensive framing,  the  result  being  a cheap,  substantial  fire-proof  building  of 
handsome  appearance. 

We  carry  in  stock  all  gauges  from  No.  i6  to  27  inclusive  in  b-j-S-g  and  10 
foot  lengths,  and  of  a width  to  lap  one  corrugation  and  cover  24  inches. 

WH  MAKE  ALL  OTHER  SIZES  TO  ORDER  PROMTPLY. 

We  make  estimates  when  desired  on  spaces  to  be  covered  if  detailed  di- 
mensions are  given.  See  directions  for  ordering  page  12.  Figs.  7 and  8.

CORRUGATED  SHEETS. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  APPLYING  CORRUGATED  ROOFING. 

FOR  ROOFING— WOODEN  FRAMING. 

Use  2^  inch  Corrugated  Sheets. 

Begin  to  lay  the  sheets  from  eaves,  the  first  sheet  covering  the  lower  left 
hand  corner,  projecting  one  corrugation  over  the  side,  and  about  three  inches 
over  the  eaves  as  shown  in  Fig.  9.  Hammer  the  projecting  side  corrugation 
down  against  the  edge  of  sheathing,  nailing  it  in  place.  Nail  across  the 
eaves  at  tops  of  alternate  corrugations.  Next  place  the  second  sheet  to  the 
right  of  the  first.  Lapping  one  corrugation,  and  with  the  same  amount  of 
eave  projection.  Nail  these  two  sheets  where  they  lap,  through  the  tops 
of  the  corrugations  as  shown  in  Fig.  10,  and  about  eight  inches  apart.  Nail 
also,  along  the  eaves,  as  on  the  first  sheet.  Proceed  in  this  manner  from 
left  to  right  across  the  length  of  the  roof,  then  begin  at  the  left  and  lay  the 
second  row  in  the  same  manner  as  the  first  one,  allowing  the  sheets  to  lap 
over  the  first  row  three  to  six  inches,  according  to  the  slope  of  the  roof  and 
the  length  of  the  sheets  used.  Nail  across  the  lower  ends  of  sheets  in  the 
second  row  about  two  inches  from  the  end  of  sheet,  through  both  sheets. 
Use  Corrugated  Wood  Filler,  Fig.  40,  on  each  side  of  the  comb  or  ridge  of 
roof,  and  over  this  place  the  Ridge  Roll  Fig.  33  or  39  as  shown  in  Fig.  5. 

Fig-  5- 


With  No.  26  and  Standard  Roofing  Gauge,  Purlins  or  Sheathing  are  re- 
commended. 

Where  the  pitch  of  roof  is  considerable,  for  example  6 inches  to  the  foot, 
less  lap  than  three  inches  will  do  at  the  ends  of  sheets.  Where  the  pitch  is 
less  than  three  inches  per  foot,  we  recommend  the  use  of  our  Pressed 
Standing  Seam,  Figs.  23  and  24,  or  Self  Capping  Roll  Roofing,  Figs.  21  and  22.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  APPLYING  CORRUGATED  SIDING. 

FOR  SIDING— WOODEN  FRAMING. 

Use  2%  or  ijY  iooh  Corrugated  Sheets. 

Fig.  6. 


Commence  at  bottom,  run- 
ning first  row  across  side  lap- 
ping one  Corrugation.  Do  not 
let  the  iron  siding  toucli  the 
ground.  Be  very  careful  to  keep 
corrugations  plumb  and  in 
line.  Put  the  second  row  on  in 
the  same  manner,  lapping  ends 
of  sheets  down  over  the  top  of 
the  first  row,  one  inch  is  suf- 
ficient for  the  lap.  Where  used 
without  sheathing  boards  the 
studding  should  he  framed  to 
measure  from  centre  to  centre, 
to  correspond  with  covering  width 
of  sheets:  or  if  preferred,  put  the 
studding  3 or  4 feet  apart,  and 
nail  the  sheets  to  the  purlins, 
placing  purlins  2 feet  apart,  ami 
across  the  studding.  Care  should 
be  taken  to  keep  siding  a few 
inches  from  the  ground.  Figs.  6 
and  44.  On  corners  use  Corner  Cap,  Fig.  41  or  42  as  shown  in  Fig.  6. 

FOR  IRON  FRAMES. 

The  side  laps  should  be  rivited  every  8 to  12  inches  and  end  laps  on  every 
other  corrugation. 

To  fasten  the  sheets  to  iron  beams  and  purlins,  a cleat  of  band  iron  ^ or 
^ inch  wide  should  be  passed  around  the  purlins  or  beams  and  rivited  at  both 
ends  to  the  sheet,  by  contracting  or  pressing  this  cleat  toward  web  of  1 beams, 
or  purlins,  a tight,  secure  fastening  is  made  which  allows  for  contraction  and 
expansion  of  the  sheets. 

We  do  not  advise  the  use  of  corrugated  iron  on  any  roof  of  less  pitch  than 
3 inches  to  the  foot.  Truss  roofs  should  have  not  less  than  1-5  or  34^  pitch. 

DISTANCE  BETWEEN  SUPPORTS  OF  ROOF. 

No.  16  can  be  used  on  purlins  7 to  9 feet  apart ; No.  18,  6 to  7 feet  apart ; 
Nos.  20  and  22,  4 to  5 feet  apart ; No.  24,  2 to  4 feet  apart ; No.  26  and  S. 
R.  G.,  2 feet  apart. 

Where  the  heavier  gauges  of  iron  are  used  Nos.  16-18-20-22  or  even  24 
sheathing  may  be  dispensed  with,

to  slip  2 inches  in  every  32  inches  as  the  sides  of  the  elevator  settle.  It  is 
also  used  for  a fire  proof  siding  on  all  kinds  of  buildings  with  board  or  plank

SELF  CAPPING  ROLL  ROOFING 


— with — 

GALVANIZED  CLEATS. 


This  roofing  can  be  laid  on  any  roof,  flat  or  pitched.  We  particularly  re- 
commend it  for  flat  roofs  as  the  edges  are  easily  turned.  On  very  flat  roofs, 
double  seams  can  be  turned  with  this  steel  roofing  same  as  on  tin. 

The  caps  being  a part  of  the  roofing,  riveting  and  counter  sinking  are  un- 
necessary as  there  are  no  separate  caps  to  work  loose. 

The  advantage  in  using  galvanized  cleats  is  very  great  as  these  fastenings 
can  not  rust  off  and  allow  the  roofing  to  loosen.  This  roofing  should  be 
laid  over  sheathing  or  lath  placed  a few  inches  apart,  and  it  can  be  applied 

bv  a carpenter  or  any  person  of  ordinary  ability.

We  send  free,  one  pound  of  Galvanized  Cleats  for  each  square  of  this 
Roofing,  and  unless  otherwise  ordered  we  also  send  one  pair  Seamers,  two 
pair  Edging  Tongs,  one  pair  Squeezing  Tongs  and  one  pair  Tinner’s  Snips 
for  applying,  charging  for  the  same  Seven  r)ollars,  which  amount  we  refund 
when  Tools  are  returned  in  good  order,  freight  prepaid. 

The  Ust  Price  on  Painted  Steel  Self  Capping  Roll  Roofing,  is  $4  25  per 
square.  Wire  Nails  for  applying,  and  sufficient  tdry  Paint  for  a second  coat- 
ing are  10  cts.  per  square.

If  customers  request  it  in  ordering  and  will  give  the  distance  from  comb 
to  eave  alter  allowing  for  ridge  seam  and  for  bending  at  eave  for  nailing, 
we  will  make  the  rolls  to  exactly  cover  the  lengths  given,  not  exceeding 
one  hundred  and  fifty  feet.  This  is  of  great  convenience  in  applying.

SELF  CAPPING  ROLL  ROOFING. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  APPLYING  AS  PER  FIGS. 

Unroll  and  cut  off  Roofing  the  length  of  roof,  allowing  an  inch  for  comb  on 
one  side  and  two  inches  on  the  opposite  side,  and  an  inch  or  more  for  flash- 
ing or  turning  down  at  eaves.  Turn  the  outside  edge  of  the  first  strip  you 
lay  down  over  barge  board  one  inch  and  nail.  Turn  up  other  edge  one  inch, 
then  anchor  it  by  nailing  the  cleats  about  14  inches  apart. 

Drive  nails  close  to  edge  of  roofing  as  it  holds  firmer.  Turn  up  edge  on 
next  course  \)4  inches  and  bring  it  up  close  to  the  one  inch  edge  and  then 
turn  it  down  over  the  one  inch  edge;  fold  the  end  of  the  cleat  back  over  the 
top  of  seam  and  make  the  seam  tight  with  tongs.  The  comb  is  made  by 
fattening  down  the  standing  seams  6 to  8 inches  from  the  comb  and  then 
turning  up  the  ends,  on  one  side  one,  and  on  the  opposite  side  two  inches. 
Anchor  the  one  inch  side  with  cleats  and  then  turn  the  two  inch  over  the 
one  inch  end.  This  makes  a standing  seam  along  the  comb.  If  you  use 
l-^idge  Roll,  Fig.  33  or  39,  it  is  not  necessary  to  allow  the  inch  and  two 
inches  on  opposite  sides  of  the  comb.  In  this  case  finish  seams  to  the  comb 
and  then  nail  the  Ridge  Roll  over  the  comb. 

Hips  are  made  the  same  way  after  cutting  to  the  right  angle.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  APPLYING. 


Snip  and  then  turn  end  locks  with  jointer  by  bending  one  end  of  sheet  up 
and  the  other  end  down.  Commence  laying  at  right  hand  corner  and  eave 
of  building.  Flatten  right  hand  cap  for  first  course  and  lay  left  hand  cap  to 
a chalk  line.  Let  the  bottom  sheet  project  over  eave  and  end  of  building  one 
inch  or  more.  Bend  down  projecting  portion  of  sheet  and  nail  to  the  end 
and  eave  of  building.  Or  if  there  are  fire  walls,  turn  sheet  up  4 to  6 inches, 
nail  securely  and  counter-flash.  Use  two  cleats  on  ends  and  one  every  12  or  14 
inches  on  the  sides.  Continue  laying  the  sheets  until  upper  part  of  roof  is 
reached.  If  a comb  roof,  allow  one  inch  on  one  side  and  two  inches  on  the 
opposite  side  to  form  standing  seam  along  the  ridge.  Start  next  course 
( with  the  piece,  if  any  which  was  cut  from  last  sheet  laid  at  comb),  with 
flanges  of  sheets  overlapping  the  first  course,  press  down,  turn  the  ends  of 
cleats  over,  and  then  press  the  seam  together  with  tongs,  this  finishes  seam. 
Continue  until  roof  is  covered.  The  comb  is  made  by  turning  up  one  side  one, 
and  the  other  side  two  inches,  first  flattening  standing  seams  for  6 or  8 inches 
back  from  comb.  Anchor  the  one  inch  side  with  cleats,  and  then  turn  the 
two  inch  edge  over  the  one  inch,  fold  the  cleat  back  over  the  top  and  press 
together  with  tongs.  This  makes  standing  seam  along  the  comb.  If  you 
use  Ridge  Roll,  Fig.  33  or  39  it  is  not  necessary  to  allow  the  inch  and  two 
inches  on  opposite  sides  of  comb.  In  this  case  finish  seams  to  the  comb  and 
then  nail  the  Ridge  Roll  over  the  comb.  Hips  are  made  in  the  same  way

ELASTIC  ROOF  CEMENT. 

Guaranteed  the  best  in  the  market  for  pointing  up  and  preventing  leaks 
in  metallic  roofs,  around  chimneys,  copings,  sky-lights,  gutters,  cupolas, 
dormer  windows,  slate,  stone,  brick  and  wood. 

Iron,  Tin,  Shingle  and  Slate  Roofs  can  be  made  absolutely’and  permanently 
water-tight  by  the  use  of  our  Elastic  Roof  Cement.  It  is  very  adhesive  ; 
sticks  to  anything;  will  not  crack  in  summer  or  winter;  easily  applied  with 
knife  or  trowel. 

Ever  kind  of  a leak  in  roofs  can  be  effectually  stopped  by  this  Cement. 
It  can  be  applied  readily  and  perfectly  by  any  one  without  the  use  of  heat  or 
special  tools,  which  cannot  be  done  with  solder  or  any  other  kind  of  com- 
pound. No  joint,  seam  or  leak  upon  which  this  cement  is  applied  ever  gives 
out.  It  is  perfection.  Tinners  and  roofers  cannot  afford  to  do  without  it.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USING. 

Prime  around  leak  with  paint;  take  a piece  of  muslin  of  a size  to  extend 
one  inch  all  around  the  leak;  fray  the  edges  of  muslin  ; cover  one  side  of 
it  with  Cement  and  paste  over  the  hole ; spread  it  smooth  to  expel  air 
from  beneath  and  then  paint  the  patch. 

CARE  OF  ROOFS. 

As  all  the  metals  in  common  use  for  roofing  will  rust,  it  is  necessary  to 
protect  their  surface  by  a coating  of  a durable  character.  Paint  is  the 
cheapest  effective  coating  that  can  be  used,  and  if  it  is  renewed  every  three 
or  four  years  it  is  entirely  satisfactory. 

Galvanized  iron  is  iron  coated  with  zinc,  and  zinc  is  one  of  the  few  and 
the  only  comparatively  cheap  metal  not  affected  injuriously  by  exposure 
to  the  weather,  and  therefore  Galvanized  Roofing  and  Siding  does  not  re- 
quire painting,  and  the  first  is  the  only  cost.  As  Galvanized  Roofings  are 
much  cheaper  than  they  have  been,  they  are  coming  into  general  use.  We 
recommend  them  to  every  one  who  wants  the  best,  least  troublesome  and  in 
the  long  run,  the  cheapest  roofing. 

INSURANCE. 

Steel  or  Iron  roofings  reduce  the  rates  of  Insurance  fully  one-third  as  a 
rule,  and  in  towns  poorly  provided  with  fire  apparatus  as  much  as  one- 
half  to  two-thirds. 


Wheeling.  W.  Va. 


ROOFING  TOOLS. 

We  charge  on  our  invoice  for  all  tools  sliipped  and  refund  or  credit  the 
amount  so  charged  when  the  tools  are  returned  to  us  in  good  order,  freight 
prepaid. 

In  returning  tools,  mark  on  tag  who  from,  so  we  can  give  the  proper  credit, 
or  remit  you  the  amount  paid. 

GALVANIZED  ROOFING  AND  SIDING. 

We  strongly  recommend  the  use  of  galvanized  roofing  and  siding.  The 
metal  is  protected  in  the  best  manner  and  will  not  rust.  It  is  suitable  for 
any  climate  and  does  not  have  to  be  painted,  therefore  the  first  cost  is  the 
only  one.  It  is  not  subject  to  injury  from  natural  causes  and  unless  abused 
will  last  indefinitely. 

GENERAL  DIRECTIONS  FOR  ORDERING. 

In  ordering  Roofing,  Siding  and  Ceiling,  state  how  it  is  to  be  applied,  if 
on  Sheathing,  Rafters  or  Studding.  State  kind  of  Roofing,  Siding  or  Ceiling 
desired,  give  the  Gauge  of  Iron  and  whether  Painted  or  Galvanized.  If 
Corrugated  Iron  is  desired,  state  size  of  corrugation.  Order  V Sticks  (for 
V Crimped  Roofing)  and  Nails  and  Dry  Paint  if  they  are  wanted. 

AGENCY. 

An  Agency  means  simply  an  Exclusive  Customer  for  the  territory  as- 
signed him;  all  inquiries  from  said  territory  thereafter  are  referred  to  him, 
which  protects  him  in  the  sale  of  our  goods.  He  buys  the  goods  of  us  at  such 
times  and  in  such  quantities  as  he  desires,  and  makes  his  own  selling  price. 

Where  we  have  no  customer  we  sell  direct  to  consumer. 

ROOFING  CAN  BE  APPLIED  BY  INEXPERIENCED  PERSONS. 

Any  person  of  ordinary  ability,  who  can  read  and  comprehend  the  plain, 
simple  directions,  can  put  it  on  successfully. 

COST  OF  LABOR. 

The  cost  varies  from  20  cents  to  50  cents  per  square,  according  to  the  size 
and  pitch  of  the  roof.  On  an  ordinary  pitched  roof  one  man  can  lay  from 
ten  to  twelve  squares  per  day.  ,As  wages  vary  in  different  localities,  you 
can  your  make  own  estimate  as  to  the  actual  cost.

STEEL  AND  IRON  ROOFING, 

COMPARED  WITH  SHINGLES. 

The  greater  number  of  fires  originate  on  the  roofs.  The  average  life  of 
a shingle  roof  is  only  ten  years  in  town  and  twelve  in  the  country.  Shing- 
les, years  ago  were  made  of  prime  timber,  but  are  now  made  of  soft  trees, 
sapplings,  limbs  and  old  cuttings,  because  prime  timber  brings  higher  prices 
for  other  purposes. 

Steel  costs  about  the  same  as  shingles,  can  be  laid  much  faster,  will  last 
many  times  longer,  looks  much  better  and  is  safe  against  fire  and  lightning. 

COMPARED  WITH  SLATE. 

Slate  roofing  requires  a steep  pitch  and  a heavy, ' expensive  structure  to 
support  the  great  weight,  which  is  about  seven  times  as  heavy  as  steel  roof- 
ing. It  will  break  from  freezing  or  thawing,  or  from  heat  of  adjacent  fires, 
costs  twice  as  much  and  is  more  expensive  to  keep  in  repair  than  a steel 
roof. 

COMPARED  WITH  TIN. 

Steel  is  stronger,  has  fewer  seams,  and  can  be  applied  faster  and  on 
cheaper  surface. 

Nine-tenths  of  the  tin  plate  now  used  for  roofing  is  made  light,  cheap  and 
inferior  to  compete  in  price  with  steel  roofing. 

Tin  roofs  contain  from  8 to  lO  times  as  many  cross-seams,  which  are  sol- 
dered. 

Solder  is  a weaker  material  than  tin  and  breaks  from  contraction,  expan- 
sion and  other  natural  causes. 

FIRE-PROOF. 

There  is  no  other  roofing  that  can  compare  with  Steel  or  Iron  roofing,  as 
a protection  from  fire.  Very  many  times  it  has  proven  itself  effectual  in 
this  particular,  and  if  the  frame  under  it  burns,  it  adds  nothing  to  the  flames. 
A shingle  roof  will  catch  fire  from  a spark,  slate  cracks  to  pieces  and  slides 
off  when  approached  by  heat,  leaving  the  felting  and  dry  sheathing  exposed 
to  the  fire.  A gravel  and  pitch  roof  when  once  started  makes  an  unquencha- 
ble flame. 

LIGHTNING-PROOF. 

Lightning  has  never  been  known  to  injure  a building  covered  with  a Steel 
or  Iron  roof.  The  surface  of  the  metal  scatters  the  electricity.

RULES  OF  MEASUREMENT  IN  SELLING  AND  APPLYING  SHEET 
METAL  BUILDING  MATERIAL. 

At  a meeting  of  the  National  Iron  Roofing  Association,  held  Jan.  13th, 
i8gi,  the  following  Rules  of  Measurement  where  adopted: 

All  Iron  and  Steel  Roofing,  and  Siding,  except  Galvanized,  is 
painted  both  sides,  unless  otherwise  ordered,  and  is  sold  by  the  square, 
except  Corrugated  Iron  and  Steel,  which  is  sold  by  the  square  or  pound  as 
preferred. 

A square  consists  of  100  square  feet  and  is  calculated  by  the  following 
rules  of  measurement. 

CORRUGATED  IRON  AND  STEEL. 

The  full  width  and  length  after  corrugating  is  calculated. 

IRON  AND  STEEL  V CRIMPED  ROOFING,  BEADED  SIDING, 
CEILING  AND  WEATHERBOARDS. 

The  full  length  of  sheets  together  with  the  actual  covering  width  is  calcu- 
lated. 

IRON  AND  STEEL  PRESSED  STANDING  SEAM 
AND  ROLL  ROOFING. 

The  actual  covering  width  and  length  is  calculated. 

WIDE  GUTTERS  AND  VALLEYS. 

The  full  length  and  width  of  material  is  calculated. 

Nails,  Wood  strips.  Dry  Paint  and  Ready  Mixed  Paints  are  not  included 
in  the  price  quoted  on  the  other  material,  but  are  charged  separately  when 
furnished. 

Ridge  Roll,  Ridge  Cap,  Corrugated  Wood  Strips,  Corner  Boards,  Panel 
Strips,  Window  and  Door  Case  Coverings,  Mouldings,  Stylings,  Eave 
Troughs,  Conductor  Pipes  etc.,  are  sold  by  the  lineal  foot  and  not  included 
in  prices  quoted  on  other  material,  but  when  furnished  are  charged 
separately. 

The  weights  of  fiat  black  iron  and  steel  sheets  before  being  corrugated 
and  painted  are  based  on  the  Birmingham  Gauge  as  given  in  Haswell, 
55th,  edition,  page  119.

AFTER  THE  MATERIAL  IS  APPLIED  TO  BUILDING. 


ROOFS — Measure  the  lengtli  of  the  roof,  including  amount  turned  up  or 
down  at  each  end  or  gahle,  and  multiply  by  the  distance  from  eave  to  eave, 
including  the  material  used  in  the  ridge  seam,  and  the  material  lapped  down 
or  up  at  eaves. 

ROOFS  W1 1 H HIPS,  VALLEYS,  DORMERS,  ETC. — Measure  each  sec- 
tion through  the  centre,  horizontally  and  multiply  by  the  length  of  the  strip 
of  metal  at  the  centre  and  in  addition  to  the  actual  surface  of  the  roof,  meas- 
ure the  length  of  hips,  and  valleys,  by  one  foot  wide.  The  extra  measure 
of  hips  and  valleys  is  to  compensate  for  the  extra  labor  and  loss  of  material 
in  cutting,  fitting  and  laying  same. 

OPENINGS. — Make  no  deduction  for  any  opening,  chimney,  stack,  sky- 
light, dormer-window  or  ventilator,  unless  such  openings  measure  more 
than  50  square  feet.  If  more  than  50  square  feet  and  not  more  than  100 
square  f^^et,  deduct  half  the  size  of  the  opening;  if  more  than  100  square  feet, 
deduct  the  full  size  of  opening.  The  labor  to  flash  pipes  and  around  stacks, 
whether  of  brick  or  iron,  is  charged  extra. 

The  reason  for  not  deducting  otherwise  than  as  specified  is,  that  the  waste 
of  material  and  extra  work  in  cutting  and  fitting  the  material  for  flashing 
such  openings  is  equal  to  or  greater  than  the  value  of  the  material  cut  out. 

GUTTERS  AND  VALLEYS. — Multiply  full  length  by  full  width  of  girt. 

SIDING. — Multiply  full  length  of  each  section  by  the  height. 

Make  no  deduction  for  any  window,  door  or  other  opening,  unless  said 
opening  measures  more  than  10  square  feet.  If  more  than  10  and  not  more 
than  25  square  feet,  deduct  one-half  the  size  of  the  opening.  If  more  than 
25  square  feet,  deduct  all  of  the  opening  except  when  the  wood  casings  to 
the  windows,  doors  and  other  openings  are  to  be  covered  with  iron  or  steel 
casings;  in  such  instances,  no  deductions  for  openings  are  made 


40 


Wheeling  Corrugating  Company. 


GABLES. — To  estimate  contents  of  gables,  multiply  the  width  by  one- 
half  the  height  or  multiply  the  height  by  one-half  the  width. 

CORNER  STRIPS. — Are  charged  extra  by  the  lineal  foot,  also  cornices 
are  charged  extra  in  all  instances,  as  the  price  varies  according  to  the  girt  of 
material  used  and  style  of  the  same. 

EAVE  TROUGHS  AND  CONDUCTOR  PIPES.— Measure  the  entire 
length  and  add  one  toot  extra  for  each  Miter,  Shoe  or  Angle. 

FASTENINGS. — Measure  all  material  used  necessarily,  including  unavoid- 
able waste,  except  where  no  deductions  are  authorized  for  openings. 

CEILINGS. — Multiply  the  length  of  each  section  by  the  width. 

Separate  Mouldings,  Panel  division  Strips,  Stylings,  Cornices  and  Friezes 
are  calculated  by  the  lineal  foot  extra.  Make  no  deductions  for  openings 
measuring  less  than  lo  square  feet,  if  more  than  lo  square  feet,  deduct 
the  full  size. 

SCAFFOLDING. — Where  scaffolding  is  necessary,  the  customer  is  to 
furnish  all  necessary  materials  for  same  free  of  charge,  and  the  roofer  is  to 
construct  the  scaffolding  free  of  charge. 

DOMES,  SPIRES,  DOORS,  etc. — Measure  all  material  necessarily  used 
including  waste,  charge  for  it  at  its  value,  together  with  the  cost  of  labor 
applying  the  material  at  wages  agreed  upon.
